Best Bet: Paws for Cause Vendor and Craft Show

NEWARK - The Newark Police Department has started a fundraising effort in order to prepare for the nearing retirement of current K9s Bear and Ike.

The Paws for Cause Vendor and Craft Show event will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 14 at the Blue Line FOP Hall located at 255 South 6th Street, Newark.

The event will showcase 25 vendors and hand-crafters, four food trucks, a Chinese raffle with items donated by the vendors/crafters and community businesses, K9 demonstrations, a 50/50 raffle and more. Also, in attendance will be the Ohio Police K9 Memorial group to help bring awareness to their cause.

All money collected will be used for the purchase of new K9s. Any money exceeding the amount immediately needed will be put into an account to help equip and care for the dogs in the future as needed.
